Well, she's walking
Through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad
She comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright, she says, it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything
Fly on, little wing

And it was followed by the howling rip rocking cover by Derek and the Dominoes on Layla. I think Sting may have been in about 8th grade when Hendrix wrote this in Monterey. |

| craighoog | Posted: Apr 18, 2013 - 17:33 Absolutely marvellous. |

| Peter_K | Posted: Feb 12, 2013 - 07:57 Please stop cutting this tune short! Jimi's meandering, almost floating guitar is mesmerizing. To cut it short and fade to the next song is coitus interruptus maximus buzzkillerous! |
| Sasha2001 (The business end of Bloomberg's education machine.) | Posted: Jan 19, 2013 - 06:42 When you think of Hendrix's greatest gifts his ability to blend fabrics with contempory swatches of color has to be at the top of that list. What many people don't know is, he was also a pretty good writer of musical verse and song. |

| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Nov 17, 2012 - 13:27 Got to be 10 - nothing short of genius from Mr Hendrix... What a legend! Took the electric guitar in a whole new direction, and soulful all the way through  |
| pi31415 | Posted: Nov 12, 2012 - 19:44 I've been listening to this song for decades and still get goose bumps every time I hear it. His time was short but he sure gave us a lot! |
| maxmox (Broome, Western Australia) | Posted: Oct 17, 2012 - 04:56 I know I voted it a 9 years ago, but it'd be good if I could rate it 11+. Mitch Mitchell you led me by the arm decades back when it was all analogue/vinyl. Blessings on the dear departed Maestro!!!!! |

Public announcement: Would the folks who ripped off our Grade 10 silk screen of Jimi, please give it back. :-( Yes, I know that was 1972 but frankly that was low, really low.
Romeo: A big howdy to all the friends in the hotel room! One of my favorite tunes. Period. Bummer 'bout the T, westslope. Praying for your karma...;-) |

Indeed, I do... hope you are having a grand time where you are... love this song... this is for Jimi— His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead. —James Joyce, "The Dead" in Dubliners (1914) |
| toterola (Further) | Posted: Jan 30, 2012 - 19:55 Eight people gave this song a "1". Unbelievable. |

| nigelr (Coffs Harbour, Australia) | Posted: Nov 04, 2011 - 00:25 I reckon Axis and Pali are my favourites.........I think Jimi had moved from "Stone" and "Voodoo"........too soon. |
